Last weekend I took a painting workshop. I wouldn’t call myself an artist – not in the cultural sense of what being an artist means – producing a product of art – with “talent.” Something unfolded that I want to share with you (it has to do with seahorses) because, my guess is, you’ve had

I had an a-ha moment last month when I happened upon an article about the words “no problem.” Why would 2 simple words that sound so nice create an a-ha moment? The article was about how we as a culture receive gratitude – a thank you from someone for something we’ve done. As a culture,

There are a lot of “never” and “always” statements I said when I was younger like, “I’ll never wear heels,” or “I’ll never wear makeup,” or “I’ll always love climbing and snow,” or “I’ll never own my own business.” I think that I can officially say that all of those “always and nevers” have been

I was on Skype with a client this week who is in a life transition. She knows it’s an important transition to make and has been having some fear with it (totally normal in life transitions). As we were working through the fear with our eyes closed, she went from feeling scared to feeling expansive,

It’s that time of year, when thanks and giving (and let’s not forget black Friday) are the theme. Maybe we feel it, maybe we don’t (and maybe we shop and maybe we don’t). It was interesting – when our Sophia (women’s) group got together for dinner this week, one of the women said, “Let’s all

The eyes – what the eyes pick up can sink into the unconscious – the place where anything is possible. Trust can be created, trust can be broken. Relationships can be created, relationships can be broken. Then

The long answer is “YES.” Yes, yes, and yes. ANYTHING can be used to escape from what we feel in the body. Including meditation. And the entire spiritual path. “I’ll just say my prayers, do my mantras, meditate, wish good will to the world… but don’t ask me to call my brother I haven’t talked

An age old question. Sometimes worded as, “Why are we here?” I’ve asked myself this question and I’m guessing you have too. It wasn’t until I was on a meditation retreat that I experienced the answer. It didn’t happen through my mind, but an experience – a knowing that came in an unexpected moment. My

One thing I know is that every human being wants happiness. On some level. Whether it’s conscious or not. You want happiness. I want happiness. Yet it seems like an illusion. Life has challenges. The kids are rowdy, you’re late for work, you’re stressed about money, your spouse doesn’t want to connect, you want your

Life give you miracles every day. It’s hard to see sometimes when we get caught up in the minutia of the daily-ness. I want to introduce you to Sam Berns. Philosopher, high school student, and one incredible human being. Sam made no excuses. He was an inspiration this way. He shows us that each day
